The Farmers National is the Strongest Bank in Franklin
v-uuniy
The Bank That has Money for its Customers
We make a specialty of providing for our customers at all seasons. During the spring and
summer just passed, a period of unusual stringency in money matters, not only in America
but in England and on the continent, we provided most generously for the needs of our cus
tomers, in proportion to balances maintained, We also rendered material assistance to a
great many farmers who did not carry accounts with us. In fact our services in this most
important particular were so efficient that our bank is now generally known as "The Bank
with money for its customers."

The Bank That Fights for the Cause of the
? Farmer' ' '
The Farmers .National, single handed and alone, shampioned the
?ause of the farmers in the fight against "The warehouse trust."
The result is well known. The octopus, in whose grasp tht far
mers of Franklin county have been held for several years, is
crumbling, and in a few months this creature will be no msre.
The arch conspirators art tired and want to run, but, like poor
Harry Thaw, they know not where to run. People are coming
daily, thanking and praising the bank for its work in routing the
"Trust," which means a new order of things; the passing of the
old regime and the birth of "The new freedom;" it means a
square deal for the farmer, and the open door.
The Bank That has set for Itself a Large Task
The Farmers National invites all the farmers to join in its efforts
to bring about needed utilities to promote a happy rural life. If
the farmers will cooperate generously, we will be able to assist in
the construction and operation of Farmers Cooperative Stores, a
Cetton Storage Warehouse, and a Tobacco Warehouse. With
generous cooperation and encouragement, each of these public
utilities can be completed and in operation within five years, and
the tobacco warehouse will in all probability be in operation Aug.
1, 1914. These matters mean much to rural life; they are not idle
dreams but accomplishments within easy reach, if the people will
take hold and push. We cheerfully offer our services and we.
know we can carry to completion each item mentioned and within
the specified time. If you believe in our program, lend us a help
ing hand. Instead of keeping on hand in your pockets and in your
house idle funds, deposit in the Farmers National bank, where the
money will be used in building up yourself, the county and the
town, and at the same time be available when you need it.
